TikTok has been going ham in the past week discovering just how different OLED screen are from typical LEDs. If you want true black, and not that weird grayish blue that traditional monitors tend to show instead, then you need to upgrade to an OLED. You can do so right now while saving yourself a bit of cash. Amazon has the highly rated Samsung Odyssey OLED G6 gaming monitor now selling for 33% off. This takes the price down from $600 to just $400, saving you a good $200 for a limited time.
True Blacks on Screen
OLED screens are seriously one of those pieces of tech that once you use, you’ll never really be able to go back. There is a richness in contrast and color that is irreplicable on LED monitors. This Odyssey G6 from Samsung also is a Pantone Validated screen which is accurately able to reproduce over 2,100 lifelike colors and over 110 skin tone shades with perfect precision. HDR10 also adds the capability of producing brighter highlights and more nuanced shadows for true-to-life color depth.
The screen is ideal for gaming. It measures across at 27 inches and has a QHD 1440p resolution, which is great for that size monitor. 4K is available at that size across the market, but for the jump in price, you’re not getting too discernable of a difference.
The Samsung Odyssey OLED G6 allows for an ultra smooth gaming experience thanks to its 0.03ms response time. Your inputs feel instantaneous. Reduced input lag like this is what can make platformers feel light and snappy and first person shooters feel like reacting in real time. It can give you the edge in your next encounter in Marathon.
The monitor also has a refresh rate of 240Hz for high frame rates. You want even higher than that? There is also a model available that supports refresh rates of up to 360Hz. This model is normally sold for $900, but its on sale for 24% off at just $680. However, there is also a coupon available on the product page that brings it down to just $500, saving you a total of $400 for the time being.
As far as connectivity goes, you can plug in your PC or other source to the screen via either of its HDMI inputs or with the DisplayPort input. The screen also houses two USB-A ports, a USB-B port and a headphone jack. The monitor is on a fully adjustable stand and even has RGB backlighting. It wouldn’t be a capital-G “Gamer” accessory without some good RGB ambient lighting.
